You could feel like withdrawing from the world in order to be alone with your thoughts today. Your desire to shelter yourself from external concerns might be a way for you to recharge and get a better handle on where your life is going. Perhaps today you can take some time to reflect upon what it is your spirit really needs at this moment. Sitting quietly, you can use your breath as a key to access the inner depths of your soul. Once your breath is steady and soft you might ask your spirit what it wants. With each inhale imagine you are connecting to your spirit more deeply and on each exhale wait for the answer. It might take a few cycles of breath to get a response, but by being patient, you may get the answer you need.

Being alone with our thoughts lets us contemplate what we need in our lives. Every day we find ourselves surrounded by other people—at home, work, in our social lives—and it sometimes becomes difficult to separate our ideas from theirs. Spending time asking our inner self what it wants, however, helps us become attuned to the desires of our true voice and not those of other people. Listening to our deeper self enables us to gain deeper insight into the purpose of our lives, which in turn allows us to reach our physical, emotional, and spiritual goals. By being with your thoughts today, you will hear the true desires of your spirit.
